We have already been operating for 6 years, wish we had done this workshop back in the beginning. For anyone already working in, or contemplating the launch of, a shared commercial kitchen, whether you are a director, manager or user, this is a must-attend event.

POSFI · Virtual 101 Idaho
The Shared Kitchen 101 workshop blew me away! So much information discovered all in one place. The facilitator was engaging and really made the two day workshop full of discoveries that are really the nuts and bolts of how to operate a professional shared kitchen. This is a workshop every commercial kitchen owner should attend.
